Bury Church of England High School is a coeducational Church of England secondary school located just south of Bury town centre. The current head teacher is Simon Braithwaite.
School history
The school was founded as a charity school in 1748.[1] In 1772 a building was built for the school in Clough Street.[1] In 1814 it moved to Stanley Street.[1][2] In 1887 it combined with the Irwell National School, and moved to Lower Bank Street.[1] It became co-educational in 1892.[1][3] In 1906 it was renamed Bury St. Mary's Parochial Church of England School, and in 1921 Church Central School.[1] The school moved to its current location in 1964.[1]
In 2009 the school was awarded Specialist Status in Humanities with the focus on geography, history and RE.[4] Other awards include the Geographical Association Secondary Geography Quality Mark and the Schools Council International School Award (Full).[4]
In March 2021 the School announced plans to become an academy and join the Bishop Fraser Trust.[5] The school formally converted to academy status in January 2022.
